Ingredients

Cilantro Cream Sauce

Preparation

  1. Place sirloin strips  into a zip top bag with lemon pepper marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove the meat and place it on a plate. Discard the marinade. 

  2. In the meantime, make the cilantro cream sauce. Add all sauce ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour sauce into a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

  3. Preheat oven to 350℉.

  4. In a skillet,  cook steak strips  on MEDIUM-HIGH heat for 4-5 minutes.  Set aside. Reduce heat to MEDIUM and add olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers, onions, and fajita seasoning to skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes or until tender. 

  5. In a small bowl combine the two cheeses. Place a tortilla at the bottom of a springform pan or baking sheet. Layer  ¼ cup of the cheese mixture, ¼ of the steak and veggie mixture, and another  ¼ cup of cheese. Top with another tortilla and repeat cheese and steak layers. Finish with a third tortilla and add a sprinkle of cheese to the top. 

  6. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Slice each stack into quarters, top with cilantro cream sauce and serve.
